Transfer Switch Installation

The electricians in our network size the switch to your generator, wire it into your main panel, install the generator inlet, and run a load calculation so your key circuits are covered. They handle manual and automatic switches, take care of permits, and test the full system before wrapping up. You end up with backup power that is safe and ready to use.
